Cynthia Watts
Griot (storyteller)
American Griot Cynthia Watts recreates the intimacy of the storytelling art form which allowed its survival through the ages.
Cynthia first heard stories from her grandmother and great great aunt. While many people have heard stories from their relatives and forgotten them, Cynthia chose to look more deeply. In trying to find her way in these turbulent times, she discovered these stories could give much needed insights. Later she heard stories at the National Storytelling Association. These experiences, as well as professional training as a college professor, encouraged further exploration into the field of storytelling.
